Igneous, Sedimentary & Metamorphic Rocks Sedimentary-sandstone Igneous- diorite Metamorphic- gneiss
1. What is a Rock? • Naturally Occurring (not man made) • Solid • Mixture of minerals other organic matter
2. What makes a rock different from a mineral? Rock Both Mineral Made of one or more minerals Solid Made of one type of element Random crystal or no crystal structure Naturally Occurring Orderly crystal structure ←Granite= Quartz+ Feldspar+ Muscovite
Igneous Rocks
3. Magma & Lava form different types of igneous rock • Igneous rock is classified by where rock forms Intrusive vs. Extrusive forms when magma lava cools in the earth surface forms when cools on earth’s
Intrusive Vs. Extrusive Diorite Granite Basalt Pegmatite Gabbro Rhyolite Andesite Scoria
4. Igneous Rocks: Crystal size & Cooling Time Location of Rock Crystal Size Intrusive (in earth) Extrusive (earth surface) Large crystals Small crystals Longer cooling time Shorter cooling time Picture Cooling time
Sedimentary Rock
5. Some rocks form from rock particles • Sediment= materials that settles out of water or air – Materials can be: • tiny pieces of rock • broken minerals • pieces of plants and animal remains
6. How do sedimentary rocks form? • Sediments pile on top of each other on land or in water • As sediments pile, they become compacted and cement together
Sedimentation Process
Sedimentary rock layers

7. Some rocks form from plants or shells • Coal- created from plant remains (dead wood, bark, leaves, stems, and roots) – The coal we use today started forming millions of year ago in swamps • Limestone- created from the shells and skeletons of ocean organisms Can you see the plant remains? http: //www. geology. pitt. edu/PAgeo/coal. html
Limestone formation
Metamorphic Rocks
8. Metamorphic Rocks • Heat and pressure change rocks – The original rock is called the parent rock – The new rock formed is called the metamorphic rock – Heat and pressure change the structure of the parent rock and their minerals recrystallize
9. Examples of Metamorphic Rocks Parent Rock= Shale Metamorphic Rock = Slate Increase Temp. & Pressure
Examples of Metamorphic Rocks Parent Rock = Limestone Metamorphic Rock = Marble Increase Temp. & Pressure
Examples of Metamorphic Rocks Parent Rock = Mica Metamorphic Rock = Phyllite Increase Temp. & Pressure
10. When a rock forms does it stay that way forever? NO!!!!!! • Rocks are always changing by processes like: – Weathering – Erosion – Compaction -Melting -Cooling -Cementation
